This is what usually catches my attention. I understand it, and agree but not often for the reasons people may think. We (understandably) look at white supremacy from the perspective of how it manifest against us (i.e. Dr. Fransis's if you're Black get back etc). However, the same thing exist among "people of color" (which is a term typically meant to exclude that people lacking color). There are efforts to redefine relationships that do not use western influences as an intermediary or...

Excellent my sista True dat in everything you conveyed here. It is the SAME in this country....where the MEDIA says what it wants you to know. It is only afterwards do you learn the entire truth. For example: the current massacre in newtown. Well it was LATER that we learned that the mother had all these weapons in her home. No one questioned why an elementary school teacher would have such an arsenal. The focus was on her so-called "crazy but brillant" son. So the media is legendary in what...

You know ... it is SO sad how many of our people do not - and, sadly, do not even KNOW - how to think for themselves, anymore!! And it's not necessarily that they believe everything their told (although, in too many cases IT IS!!) .... but, it's more like they don't even consider that there's more or something else to what they're told .... that changes the TRUTH about what's really going on!! So, they basically just live in 'ignorant stupor' ... instead of getting or being educated or...

I think that is 85% of the people I know in the hood! We talked about this very thing today. How there are 5% of us at the elite and 10% at the middle level...but! It's the 85%-which is the MAJORITY of us....at the core bottom level of a mentality that continues to keep us from progressing at a pace we SHOULD BE. Cuz most of us should be at the top of our game by now. But nooooooooooooo. We have those kneegrows who just don't GET IT!!!! You know the ones who will wear their pajamas to the...

Because the Chinese are not European they get a pass?? They have resource needs as well as economic needs. They as other outsiders see the chance to exploit the people and resources of a politically, economically weak Africa. I just don't understand how African descended people continue to lie in bed with Asians. Especially since we understand how they treat us in the U.S. Time to grow up politically.

Only time will tell the truth about what is really going on with the Africa-China relationship. But, actually, if China, having the upper-hand economically, do right by Africa, not have or tolerate racism/racial condescendence, and unfair practices, the relationship has the potential to make China and Africa the most powerful nation/continent on earth. The sheer number of Africans and Chinese alone, would make an African-China alliance the largest and most powerful military coalition on...

All very interesting questions and things to think about. However is there anyone with an interest in people NOT thinking about a relationship between Africa and China in terms of economic impact? This is where the value of knowing and understanding the history of Chinese (Asia et al) development shines. I don't hold the same view on African's "flirting" with Communism, mostly because its become a term of association and not of meaning. Hard to say that we are a people of a history of being...

I mean at least the people will get fed and medication for the sick including the children who are always at the butt of a country's poverty crisis.

I know this is OFF TOPIC....but! The scenerio no longer exist where teachers have classroom power to mold children academically they the way they were trained.

Yeah that's all good but who suffers in the interim? Innocent women and children. However, there is a great difference between black muslims in this country and orthodox moslems in the eastern hemisphere. Big difference. I thinks it the 21 virgins in the afterlife that is the lure[for black men]. But I've always said no black man in his RIGHT man should ever be a muslim. It is an insult to the journey of our ancestor as slaves in this country. It is also an insult to mother Africa...who has...

Separation of Church and State is genius. Spirit says, Thou Shalt Not Kill. The State says, Kill for Freedom (= rich people). Islam mixes up Church and State.

The U.S. has interests in Africa that entails making weaponry for themselves. If the Africans were smart they'd keep that stuff for themselves, since nobody in the world likes Africans and they need some kind of Army or something to keep everyone from killing them. There are 1 billion Africans, militarize everyone, take the guns off each other, point them the other way; maybe you can make a friend somewhere. The African hate is fluckin' unbelievable. Extremely dark skin and tightly coiled...

I saw that nasty looking guy in the back of that truck. I saw that nasty looking partition of something or another called a "hospital". The way Africa's filmed in National Geographic and elsewhere, there doesn't seem to be a house or building anywhere on the damn continent. Everyone's just living outdoors like the elephants and lions from magazine/TV depictions. Those folks look like their wallowing around in feces and piss; no one's there to care one way or the other. America amazes me. She...

Bastards! The rulers are having so much fun profiting off crisis and using them to put African countries in so much debt the only way they can pay is to bend over and let the West rape them of their natural resources. I wish Africans would tell them get the fuck out we don't need your fukkin loans we will handle this.

Like I said before the oligarchs want to kill as many people as possible and obviously Africa is targeted for mass eradication of Africans. If they get enough failed states in Africa then all out chaos, war and disease will do it for them with the help of corrupt African leaders. This is why I admire Argentina that told the World Bank and Wall Street Fuck You we not paying you back on your terms we will pay you back when we are comfortable to do so and we are not handing over our natural...

Implement ban on travel now: Opposing view The U.S. should implement an immediate temporary travel ban preventing entry by citizens of the West African countries afflicted by the Ebola virus, as I said in July. Had we done that, we wouldn't have Ebola in the U.S. right now. No blood test can detect Ebola in victims who are newly infected . Human carriers are asymptomatic for as long as three weeks . When Ebola does start to show a symptom — high temperature — that symptom can be masked with...

I just had to post something when I read that he had passed away. I so enjoyed Star Trek and still watch the re-runs sometimes, and "Dr. Spock" was my favorite character. It was only after I got older that I realized how ahead of its time Star Trek was and just which episodes were actually metaphors for the social issues of the time (and still today), like race, class, greed, the intellectual evolution of man, not to mention how Science imitated the Art of "Star Trek" in discoveries and...

It's sad when the people we grew up with pass away never to be replaced. It just means the elders are passing shifting the baton to the babies of today. Humanity replenishing itself, possibly not for the better, but time waits for no one. It's an awakening that eventually, everyone's time is done. The reality is, that we all just become memories; good or bad.
